Mov­ing right along, let’s talk about what big, bad, scary con­ser­v­a­tives have to say about rape. In 2008, the Supreme Court decided the case of Kennedy v. Louisiana, hold­ing that the state can­not exe­cute a man for rap­ing a child so vio­lently that her vagina detached from her cervix and her rec­tum pro­truded into her vagina. ‘Fem­i­nist’ jurists voted that the sub-​human walk­ing filth could not be exe­cuted for his crimes, while Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, and other right-​wing whack­adoo­dles believe that the Con­sti­tu­tion per­mits us to exe­cute such sub-​human filth. Not the great­est record for ‘fem­i­nism’ and rape.

Since I’m a lawyer, I can’t help but think of other Supreme Court jurispru­dence that is not exactly help­ful in pre­vent­ing rape or get­ting the mes­sage through to men that rape has con­se­quences. There are the famous gun-​rights cases, Heller and Mac­Don­ald v. Chicago, wherein the con­ser­v­a­tive fac­tion held that guns — which make small women able to beat up their would-​be rapists — can­not be banned whole­sale by the gov­ern­ment. The lib­er­als, who dis­tort the Equal Pro­tec­tion clause to their ‘fem­i­nist’ ends, couldn’t find it within them­selves to say that women have a right to meet men with equal or greater force.

Just on that record alone, nor­mal peo­ple would con­clude that lib­er­als want women to be raped and don’t want to mete out pun­ish­ment to rapists.

This is a prob­lem when the rapists in ques­tion are drunk horny twenty-​something men on a col­lege cam­pus. They’ve spent their entire lives get­ting the mes­sage that sex is just fun, any­one who says that women get all emo­tional about sex are repres­sive patri­archs, and rape doesn’t carry con­se­quences like get­ting your gonads blasted off with a Sig Sauer.

Against that back­drop, what is there for a uni­ver­sity to do besides teach young women how to not get raped? If home­own­ers were never armed and door locks were deemed to be tools of the patri­archy, I would spend all my time teach­ing would-​be vic­tims how to not be vic­tims, too. But that hardly means that I would con­done robbery.

A quick logic lesson: would this young lady also approve of “I need Randianism because my university teaches ‘Lock your dorm room doors’ instead of ‘Respect the private property of others’ at freshman orientation”? (If so, that’s cool by me – let me be clear.)

Moving right along, let’s talk about what big, bad, scary conservatives have to say about rape. In 2008, the Supreme Court decided the case of Kennedy v. Louisiana, holding that the state cannot execute a man for raping a child so violently that her vagina detached from her cervix and her rectum protruded into her vagina. ‘Feminist’ jurists voted that the sub-human walking filth could not be executed for his crimes, while Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, and other right-wing whackadoodles believe that the Constitution permits us to execute such sub-human filth. Not the greatest record for ‘feminism’ and rape.

Since I’m a lawyer, I can’t help but think of other Supreme Court jurisprudence that is not exactly helpful in preventing rape or getting the message through to men that rape has consequences. There are the famous gun-rights cases, Heller and MacDonald v. Chicago, wherein the conservative faction held that guns – which make small women able to beat up their would-be rapists – cannot be banned wholesale by the government. The liberals, who distort the Equal Protection clause to their ‘feminist’ ends, couldn’t find it within themselves to say that women have a right to meet men with equal or greater force.

Just on that record alone, normal people would conclude that liberals want women to be raped and don’t want to mete out punishment to rapists.

This is a problem when the rapists in question are drunk horny twenty-something men on a college campus. They’ve spent their entire lives getting the message that sex is just fun, anyone who says that women get all emotional about sex are repressive patriarchs, and rape doesn’t carry consequences like getting your gonads blasted off with a Sig Sauer.

Against that backdrop, what is there for a university to do besides teach young women how to not get raped? If homeowners were never armed and door locks were deemed to be tools of the patriarchy, I would spend all my time teaching would-be victims how to not be victims, too. But that hardly means that I would condone robbery.

What she says is perfectly sensible. She’s not advocating reckless behavior. She’s saying that rape, unfortunately, was often considered the victims “fault”. Because of a feminist perspective, we’ve realized that rape victims shouldn’t be further victimized by society.

It’s a great idea for a university to have a “don’t rape” class for men. Will some men still commit this crime? Yes. But a change in culture can lower the number of date rapes, and isn’t that a good thing?

This chick isn’t saying that victims are being blamed; she’s actually upset that she’s being taught how to avoid being the victim of a crime, just like students are taught how to not get their identities stolen.

Yes, I think that we should change the culture surrounding rape, which is the point of my post. Arm our coeds so that they can shoot rapists in the gonads, execute people who rape little girls, and reaffirm the reality that sex is not merely recreation, and you will have set yourself up for a very anti-rape culture.

Because she’s foolish, like most young ‘feminists’, and doesn’t know that there’s dumb, oafish, violent people in the world who will do anyone harm given the chance.

When I was in college, I took RAD – Rape Aggression Defense. Spent twelve hours learning how to punch, kick, knee, break choke holds, and yes, avoid being raped in the first place. According to the twit in the photo, those three hours of rape prevention were a tool of the patriarchy. It’s empowering.

Here comment makes it perfectly clear she understands that there are rapists in the world. Dumb, oafish, however you want to describe them, she clearly understands that such people exist. I sure have no problem with women fighting back against a rapist, and I don’t see a word to indicate she sees a problem with it either.

Date rape is a fairly new concept. And social pressure is an effective tool against date rape. [Not a cure, not a way to totally eliminate it, but an effective tool.]

Jeanne, liberals have been telling us for decades that “kids are going to do it anyway” so there’s no use in using social pressure to try to get 14-year-olds to keep their legs shut; we may as well just, as their logic goes, throw every form of birth control at them and hope for the best. Numerous studies show that men are much less susceptible to social pressure than are women.

Yet you think that a drunk, horny 20-year-old man whose girlfriend (or ladyfriend of the night) is all warm in his bed, can be persuaded by “social pressure”?

The only “social pressure” that will persuade such a man is (a) a Glock or (b) the threat of getting his arse kicked by a bunch of men who do NOT swallow modern liberal claptrap ideas on sexuality – who think that women’s sexuality is intricately tied up in their emotions, that a roll in the hay is more meaningful than ‘just fun’, and that women deserve better than drunken hook-ups.

Before you start spouting off on what ‘social pressure’ will reduce date rape, maybe you ought to explain how our society should view women’s sexuality.

I’ve never posted on any blog before where the host openly violated someone’s privacy.

Yes, I think that societal pressure works. Drunk driving is a good example. It used to be considered a matter for joking, fodder for sitatuion comedies and stand-up routines. Thanks to societal pressure, that has changed.

I remember when a husband couldn’t be charged with raping his wife. That’s changed, too.

Societal pressure will not end date rape. It will help, though. For the same reasons that social pressure made changes in countless other issues.

As for explaining how society should view women’s sexuality, good lord, it’s a blog, I’m not going to write your thesis for you. Seriously, that’s a broad, vague question.

Wow – you think there’s privacy on the internet and you call me naive? You gave a total stranger – i.e. me – your first name, last name, state, and IP address (that gives me a city). But I’m the naive one?! Sweetheart, you’re killing me here.

On to the ‘merits’:

Drunk driving laws changed, then people drove drunk less often. We used to have criminal laws and civil actions that made it very easy to convict men of date-raping women, but liberals like you did away with the crime and tort of seduction. Then, by your own admission, incidents of date rape skyrocketed. So why not go back to what both of us admit works: a pre-sexual revolution culture?

I’m not going to write your thesis for you.

Jeanne, I have a JD, an engineering degree, and a humanities degree. I can write my own theses, hon.

But you cannot succinctly state whether you ascribe to an old-fashioned view of women’s sexuality (as I outlined) or a modern view. Simple question: is sex fun, empowering recreation, or does it effect the psyche and the soul?

The issue is not “privacy on the internet”. The issue is that a blog host taking personal information, provided privately, and making it public in an apparent attempt to incite someone to harm me.

I am not sure where you are getting the idea that date rape “skyrocketed”, or where you got the idea that this was something I “admitted”. This is something that has gone on forever, but it used to get hidden, or blamed on the woman. Societal pressure has changed that. In Biblical times, no woman could claim to be raped in a city-the rationale was that if it was really rape, she’d have screamed and someone would have heard. Not so long ago, women had better have some injuries if they were going to claim rape, or it wouldn’t have been believable to the police that they were raped. The attitude is, as recent Senatorial campaigns proved, not extinct.

Thank you for clarifying your sexuality question-you may have been speaking in right wing code that’s not clear to the general population : ) Sex is both fun and procreation.

I have no idea what you’re claiming “we both agree” works, you’re too invested in being clever and too uninvested in being clear and rational, IMO.

The issue is that a blog host taking personal information, provided privately, and making it public in an apparent attempt to incite someone to harm me.

ROFL. How am I inciting someone to harm you? How am I providing any information that is not already publicly available?

I am not sure where you are getting the idea that date rape “skyrocketed”, or where you got the idea that this was something I “admitted”.

When you said “Date rape is a fairly new concept.”

This is something that has gone on forever, but it used to get hidden, or blamed on the woman.

ROFL. No, it used to result in a man being hauled out and shot by her male relatives. Or thrown in jail for the crime of seduction. Or forced to marry her if she got pregnant.

Sex is both fun and procreation.

Which is EXACTLY why men think that if they use a condom, or she’s on the Pill, that date rape is okay. By your own admission, sex isn’t emotional. If sex with contraception is like calorie-free ice cream, then date rape is akin to being force-fed said calorie-free ice cream. The ONLY way in which we can understand the horror of rape, the way it ruins a woman’s life, the “unfinished murder” aspect, is if sex has a huge spiritual, moral, and psychological component.
